# Hi, I'm Karan *Mario Jude* Pinto.
Welcome to my corner of the internet. Yes, Mario Jude is my real middle name.
I am on a never-ending pursuit to transcend myself to new frontiers, push the boundaries of disciplines & contribute to building the future.
I am a voracious reader, an unapologetic curious cat, an acute observer & an open minded individual with incredibly diverse interests spanning from technology & finance to art & dance, from adventure sport & movement to film & entrepreneurship.
This second brain is my perpetual pursuit to learn, grow & become more.

## My Second Brain
Here you can find **my second brain** - a public space where I continuously collect, synthesise, connect, cultivate & create in my "[[Digital Gardens]]".
A space where:
- I collate my un-filtered pure thoughts, learnings & understandings.
- I just write & output to gain clarity, discover guiding principles & uncover ideas.
- I channel my expression on matters I care & am passionate about.
This is a long-term journey through which I continuously evolve my personal knowledge over the next decades.
Please note that this is a curated selection that is published for the common good and knowledge sharing only.
## Why this site exists
- It became *challenging to manage my mind better* w/ conventional note tools as they fell short when it came to the:
- seamless, unstructured capture of one's thoughts,
- connecting of uncorrelated knowledge dots & emergence of ideas,
- compounding of my long term intelligence
- To *continuously share my exploits* with the world *& include wider context*(which is a big missing piece of the puzzle), I felt the scratching urge for a channel / medium that:
- helped me understand the realms of my [[Circles of Competence]], in terms of differentiating between what I know & don't know ([[Metacognition]])
- minimised friction / efficiently enabled the **"thought to capture to share to compounding"** flow in a fuss free way
- **sync my internal sense-making w/ my external sharing** for reference, for conversations, for journey enhancement ([[Order for Chaos]] )

## Basic Terminologies
Throughout my second brain, I use some abbreviations that are concepts to make room for thought and facilitate the development of my [[Digital Gardens]]. Below are are some key ones to know:
- [[Maps of Content (MOCs)]] help organize and keep track of the [[Digital Gardens]].
- [[Block of Atomic Thought - BOATS]] that are very early child notes.
# Explore my mind
Here are some good rabbit holes you could go down, originating through thoughts turning into atomic notes and those evolving into networked ideas, concepts & principles.
